JJJ's "Kryptonite?"

UPDATE: I had to take down my bikini photo of Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.’s famous “social acquaintance” Giovana Huidobro because of copyright restrictions. But, through the wonders of the Web, it probably can still be found on her impressive page at this Peruvian photo site. Back in the black community's barber shops (Mine, anyway,) the chattering masses chuckle about whether JJJ’s gal pal is “black man’s kryptonite,” an old joke dramatized by Denise Richards in this scene from Eddie Griffin’s hilarious, politically incorrect and yet remarkably prophetic 2002 blaxploitation flick Undercover Brother.

In a nutshell, the tagline at the movies's IMDB page describes it like this; “When ‘The Man’ tries to derail a black candidate's presidential campaign, Undercover Brother and his fellow secret agents come to the rescue.”

Back here in the real world, the big question is whether anybody can rescue Jackson’s mayoral dreams.
